TIL about the Penetron tube which is such a brilliant idea that it's a shame it never got developed further for consumer/office applications. It would have approximately halved the power consumption of colour televisions and the lack of a shadow mask would have meant that one did not need to choose between a sharp monochrome monitor or a fuzzy colour monitor back in the 1980s.
